Body London Model Agency Reviews

You’ll get worked to the bone in chase of your commission targets which are unrealistic. When you don’t hit your targets, you get moaned at. As a newbie, you’ll inherit random clients (most likely small clients you’ve never heard of) and then expected to bank big numbers, when most of these clients have small budgets like £200 a day. All the big, well known brands who pay big rates are already taken by the senior bookers so you’re left with the scraps. The owner still expects you to bank the same as the senior bookers, as everyone has the same targets. It’s always the bookers fault, never the fact the clients you get are pure rubbish and don’t reply. So you’ll remain on your basically salary, they’ll often dangle the carrot by drip feeding you a client, only for that client to be unresponsive hence why they’ve passed it over. Which I found the most appalling thing at Body London: - No sick pay, which got taken away without our knowledge. Didn’t even have the guts to tell everyone face to face, you’d just notice on pay day - If you need to book a doctors appointment they make you book it out as annual leave, after they already give you the bare minimum days, disgusting. The agency is not respected by other agencies, clients or models within London - it’s mainly down to the annoying approach, which is enforced by the owner, to email/call clients 10 times a day, who the hell wants to be contacted that many times! So irritable, let your clients breathe. You end up hindering your relationships and it’s embarrassing when the clients tell you to stop, all for you to do the same in the next day. The agency is built to make the people at the top the money. They take a higher percentage from the models for jobs and treat employees like they’re just a clog in the machine, to make them money (taking away sick pay is a fine example)

The owner is terrible, micro manager. Encourages people to not take lunch. 9-6. Making people take 1 hr holiday for a drs appt. Not cutlery in a sad attempt to get people to not take lunch. Owners take any way to not pay people when they leave. This agency is not respected in the industry, blacklisted from certain big U.K. clients because owner is unethical and takes more money than supposed to from models.
